I receive a lot of questions on this blog, and I am happy that I am receiving questions from readers. Many of these questions are related to registration of professionals to the Professional Registration Commission (PRC).
Today, I will answer at length a question left on one of my posts by an Anonymous commenter. The question of the anonymous commenter, I think, will concern all Philippine registered professionals, especially the women professionals. Here is her question:
.
As of this date (October 26, 2012), the PRC satellite offices located at the SM Malls only accepts application for the renewal of PRC ID. Other services, including the initial registration of new professionals, can only be processed in the regular PRC offices. Included in these “other services” is the changing the registered name due to marriage.
Requirements in Changing Name on PRC ID Due to Marriage
1. Duly accomplished Petition Form that is notarized. The Petition Form can be obtained from the PRC office or can be downloaded here.
2. Certificate of Marriage or Marriage Contract issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO). The certificate or contract should be printed on NSO security paper.
3. One copy of 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch picture.
4. Metered documentary stamps, which are also available in the PRC office.
5. Statutory fee of 225 pesos.
Procedures
1. Photocopy all the supporting documents (i.e. marriage contract). You must both have the original and the photocopy when you go to the PRC.
2. Fill-up the Petition Form and have it notarized. PRC Offices also offer notary services. For PRC Manila, notary services is available at the Legal Division, which is located on the 2nd floor of the Main Building.
3. Proceed to Registration Division (for PRC Manila), located at the ground floor of the Main Building, for verification of your registered name. This division will also asses the fees that you will pay. You must have metered documentary stamps before you proceed to this step. For PRC Manila, metered documentary stamps are available at the Customer Service Counter.
4. For PRC Manila, go to Records Section located at the ground floor of Annex Building for the verification of your examination records.
5. Go to the cashier for the payment of fees.
6. Bring your receipt, Petition Form and supporting documents to one of the following windows: Window 16, Window 18 and Window 30. Get your claim slip.
7. Claim your new PRC ID as scheduled on your claim slip.
Some Notes
1. There is a possibility that your record in the PRC will not match your marriage contract. Bring your NSO Birth Certificate as another document to support your marriage contract.
2. Teachers follow a different procedure. They should go to 3 rd floor of the Annex Building of PRC Manila. For registration they should go to Window 21 or Window 22. For the records, they should go to Window 9.
3. Note that the procedures outlined here are for those who processing their registration at PRC Manila. Regional offices of the PRC may have different procedures for the changing of registered name on the PRC ID.
4. For more information, please visit the PRC website.
5. Ms. Paula Magpantay commented below that the fees for change of name is 225 Pesos. Notary fee is 50 pesos. Renewal of license (if on time) is 450 pesos. According to her, there is penalty for late renewal but it will not cost more than 2,500 pesos.

Is the express ID applicable to change of name?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply. I am not sure Ley but I think Express ID can be used for change of name.
ReplyDeleteHi what if i doesnt have a marriage cert.copy from nso yet?? is it okay if im going.to use the civil registry copy?? thanks
DeleteHi! I'am a nurse working here in Libya. I just want to ask about my soon to be expire PRC license, coz I have it with me,do I need to send it back to the Philippines with the renewal form that I've downloaded from your blog,and how can I have the special power of atty.? anyway, I hope you can help me with this:)
ReplyDeleteHello e052206g.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to send your soon-to-be expired PRC license to the Philippines. You only need to send the renewal form.
You can make your own special power of attorney. You use this special power of attorney on this link: http://www.abogadomo.com/legal-forms/special-power-of-attorney
You may also use an authorization letter, which is both signed by you and your representative.
Hi! I need to change my name due to marriage. Can I change my name and renew my ID at the same time? Because my ID is soon to be expired in October. Thanks for answering!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeleteYou can renew you license and change your name on the PRC ID at the same time. Just bring you marriage contract so that you have a proof of your marriage.
I will be renewing my license and at the same time apply for a change of name due to marriage. I just want to ask, what to write on PRC Reg form No. 003, do i write my registered name or my married name? I'm not talking about the petition form, i'm referring to the PRC Reg form No. 003. thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello Ma. Ana
ReplyDeleteYou can already place you married name to the PRC Form 003 since you are now legally married, which means that you already have the NSO marriage certificate as supporting document.
Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYou cannot immediately change the name on your PRC ID because you're not yet legally separated. You are considered married under our laws.
I suggest that you separate legally first before you change your name back to your maiden name.
PRC will ask for supporting documents when you want something change to your PRC ID.
is there any other fee except from the 225? and the notary? my frined told me i will pay 2500 for the change of name due to marriage. tnx. more power!
ReplyDeleteHi. Change of name is 225 only. Notary is 50 php. Renewal of license (if on time) is 450 only.. if you have penalty for late renewal then there will be addtl charges but it will not cost 2500. Maybe fixer yon so watch out
Delete450 renewal fee (if on time ka) then 225 for change of name. 50php notary.. inasikaso ko yan this week lang po. Baka sa fixer yang 2500. Beware.

ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the change of name at PRC so I have no idea. Please call PRC so you can get the answer to your question. Here is the telephone number of PRC: 310-0026
hi! gaano po katagal before po ma-claim ung license?
ReplyDeletehi! ask ko lang po, ok lang po ba kahit na hindi pa po ako mag change ng name sa license ko po? but i'm using my husband family name.. thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeleteMas maganda na ipabago mo yung pangalan mo sa PRC License mo at baka malito yung mga kliyente mo.
Normally dapat makuha mo yung lisensya mo after a week. Kung express ID ang ginamit mo ay sa within 24 hours ay makuha mo na lisenya mo.
Sir pwde po bang gamitin yong marriage certificate ko from State of Hawaii habang pinaprocess ko po ung marriage ko sa Philippines Consulate,it take 6 months po ata bago ako magkaron ng records sa NSO?By Jan.2018 need na kasi magprovide ng CPD to renew your license.Thank you po.
Deletehi i am already annulled and i want to renew my expired teacher's license and at the same time change it back to my maiden name. can i do it simultaneously as im planning the express ID when i go to PRC Thanks and more power you have a very informative and helpful blog :)
ReplyDeleteLolita
ReplyDeleteYou can simultaneously change your name and renew your license. Just bring the necessary documents as proof of your annulment.

Hi! Will PRC Baguio entertain the renewal of my prc license and change of name due to marriage if I had initially gotten my first license at PRC Manila. My license expired last 2011 and would like to renew it next week at Baguio. Will that be entertained/possible?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeletePRC Baguio will accept the renewal of your PRC license.
Hi I just got married last December. I will be starting my nursing practice next week. I was wondering if could use my married name in documentations on patient charts even though I haven't updated the name on my prc licence yet. Is that allowed or should I stick with the name on my ID? Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeletePlease stick with the name that's written on your PRC ID. I suggest that you go to PRC ASAP to change the name on your ID.
for the marriage cert. Will they accept the a copy fron the local civil registrar? Since i went to nso to get a copy of my mc, they said it will take 6 mos from the date of marriage to have it processed. Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeletePRC will prefer the NSO certified marriage certificate. But if you want you can try using the MC from the local civil registrar.
hello po! i just want to ask kc di ko pa po nai apply ang PRC license ko as a teacher nung dalaga pa ako
ReplyDeleteup to now na may asawa na ako.the same pa din po ba ang process kung ku2ha na ako ng PRC ID kung mag apply ako this time?
Lala
ReplyDeleteMaiba ng konti yung processing na gagawin mo. Kailangan mo na kasi ng proof ng iyong pagpasa sa LET. Kailangan mong kunin iyon sa board ng Teaching Professionals.
Hi, nka tag ung name ko s prc kasi with legal case daw..ano ibig sabihin nun?
ReplyDeletehi po..wat if hndi pa po available ang marriage certificate sa NSO, anu po pwwedeng alternative na document na ipapasa para mapalitan ung satutus?tnx po
ReplyDeletehi...Will they accept the a originaL copy of marriage certificate since i went to nso to get a copy of my mc, they said it will take 6 mos from the date of marriage to have it processed..isasabay q sana ang change status ko sa pag renew ng licence ko since pag eexpire na..tnx po
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ May 31
ReplyDeleteKaya naka-tag name mo ay may nag-kaso sa iyo sa PRC. Isang possibility ay may kapangalan kang kinasuhan dahil sa malpractice or kung anu mang kaso. Pakitanong na lang po sa PRC kung ano po talaga ang sitwasyon.
Anonymous @ June 17
Wala po akong alam kung anong ipalit sa NSO-certified marriage certificate. Posible na tanggapin na din ng PRC yung marriage certificate na galing sa munisipyo or city hall.
Anonymous @June 18
Hindi ko po alam kung tatanggapin yan ng PRC. Pakitawagan na lang po sila para inyo pong malaman. Heto po ang number ng PRC: 314-0026
hello! ask ko lang po, kung sabay po ang change of name due to marriage at renewal, parehas din po ba ang requirements such as notarized petition?
ReplyDeleteHello, i renewed and changed my status of my prc id last may.according in the claim stub i can get it after 3 to 4 months. My concern is if there is any way to check it through online to know if my id is available already. Or if there is tel. Number to call to verify it...?
ReplyDeleteHi.. pwede po ba akong mg change name agad due to marriage during intial registration? Just passed the nle last june 2013. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ July 2, 2013
ReplyDeletePosible pong hingiin pa rin sa inyo yung notarized petition form. I guess na mas mabuting tawagan na lang ninyo ng PRC at magtanong po kayo duon. Heto po ang telephone number ng PRC: (02) 314-0026

Hi po. good day, i am just wondering about my teacher's license in my NSO, my surname is Santamaria, but my school records appears Santa Maria, the PRC followed my school records.would it be possible to change it and follow what's on my NSO instead? i'm having a hard time when i use my prc i.d. kasi i have to attach "affidavit of discrepancy" pa. thank u po! God bless
ReplyDeleteJovie
ReplyDeleteYou can ask PRC to correct the name on your PRC ID. Just bring your NSO birth certificate as proof. Tell them that the correct name is in your birth certificate.
PRC staff will tell you what to do.
hello! thank you so much for posting this, its is very helpful!
ReplyDeletei will renew my license and at the same time change name due to marriage. do i have to go through the same procedure in change of name before i can renew my license? or is there another procedure for it?
thanks!
Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYou can change your name on the PRC ID and then renew your license at the same time. Just bring the documents I posted on this article and the requirements for renewing the PRC license.
Tell the PRC staff that you are renewing your license and also changing your name on the ID.
PRC staff will tell you what to do.
Hello po! Nurse po ako na nandito sa UK. I need po to change my name due to marriage and at the same time process my documents to apply with Nursing Council of UK using my married name- Is it possible to do this all together in one visit? or do i have to wait for the name change? how long does it take for the name change?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI have no idea about processing of documents to apply with Nursing Council of UK.
Regarding the change of name on your PRC ID due to marriage, I think that it can be processed within the week, if there's no problem.
Hi po..pwede kasing ipoprocess sa relatives yung renewal of prc license..pano po yung change of status and surname?..pwede din po ba iba magprocess since wala ako sa pinas?..Thanks..
ReplyDeleteChelle
ReplyDeletePwede n'yo pong ipa-process yung PRC ID renewal with your relatives or any authorized representative, including yung pagpapalit ng pangalan dahil sa mariage. Just give your representative the requirements including the NSO marriage certificate.

Hi. Does PRC get the original NSO marriage certificate (secpa)? Or I should only attach the copy and they just look at the original for reference/confirmation?
ReplyDeleteOkay lang po ba n hindi n magpalit ng name kahit married n?
ReplyDeleteGood day po.. My concern po is about renewing my prc lic and changing name due to marriage, if marriage cert from the nso is the required supporting document, would they honour my marriage cert issued in the UK since marriage was done there... Thank you so much po and God bless.

Hi. Question lang po. I got married last february. Do I have an option to retain my maiden name?
ReplyDeleteanonymous
ReplyDeleteYou have the option to place a dash "-" between your name and your husbands name so that it will still show on your ID.
I am not sure you can still retain your maiden name fully.
ask ko lang po kapang nag file ako ng change status, kinukuha pa ba nila yung latest prc license ko? or ipe-present lang sa counter? thanks and God bless u.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeleteHindi ko alam ang sagot sa inyong tanong. Ang mabuti po ay dalhin ninyo ang inyong PRC ID at photocopy nun pagpunta ninyo sa PRC.
hi,
ReplyDeletethanks for the information you provided. you mentioned the petition form needs to be notarized. do you happen to know if prc accepts notarization outside the philippines?
thanks,

ReplyDeleteI am not sure if they I will accept documents that are notarized abroad. I suggest that you notarize the document here in the Philippines.
Hi ask ko lang what if nagpachange name and stat nko ng prc license and macclaim ko sya on november 28 pa.. Pero i still have my prc license with my maiden name na sa 2016 pa mageexpire, can i still use it sa pagaapply? Kasi may apply nko for abroad,is it ok na yun maiden name na muna gamitin ko and baka di ko muna maclaim ang nirequest kong license if mapabilis ang pagprocess ng docs ko for abroad.. Ty
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeleteHindi ko po alam ang magiging epekto ng hindi ninyo paggamit ng inyong married name sa trabaho abroad. Kung nilagay mong single ka ay baka pwede mo pang gamitin yang old PRC mo.
Yun nga lang, dapat i-consider mo rin yung epekto sa ibang papeles mo katulad ng passport at sa POEA.
Good day sir/mam.. i need an advice.. kc i need to urgently sign a plan. then my problem is hindi ko pa napapalitan ung name ko sa prc id ko ng married name ko.. can i just use my maiden name as signing name? wala nmn kaso un noh kc un pa rin nmn ang nasa i.d ko ee.?
ReplyDeleteMelanie
ReplyDeleteHindi ko po alam yung full details ng plan ninyo kaya hindi kita mabibigyan ng accurate advice.
Kung insurance plan yan ay sabihin mo sa insurance company yung gagawin mo. Posible kasing maapektuhan yung plan kung magpalit ka ng status later on.

ReplyDeleteI am not sure about that. Mas mabuti na tanungin ninyo ang NSO tungkol dito.
Hi, may i ask kung gaanu katagal irerelease ung teachers' prc id kpg ngpchange status ako and renew at the same time? Aabutin ba ng 3 months? Need ko kasi sana ung id by december, mgrerenew ako by november 7. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeleteLess than three months kapag sa main office ka ng PRC nagpa-renew at change status. Iwasan mo yung PRC satellite office sa mga malls kasi maraming nagrereklamo na mabagal daw mag-release dun.

Hello Sir, I will be renewing my license as an ECE this month. Would you know please what are the requirements for change of name? (this is not due to marriage).On the registration and on my ID I was using my second name before and now i wanted to have it corrected using my full name (first and second)..Thank you
ReplyDeleteHI Eric
ReplyDeleteI think that you need a proof so I suggest that you bring a NSO Birth Certificate. Do you have other proof that you can use? Maybe your passport will do.
Hello po! Hindi ba pwedeng gamitin yong marriage certificate na hindi pa galing sa Nso..Bago pa lang kaming na ikasal kayat hindi ako makakuha sa nso, xpire na kasi yong license q at gusto qng i renew at e change yong status para ok na!..salamat po!
ReplyDeleteEaryl
ReplyDeleteSa tingin ko ay pwede namang gamitin yung marriage license na hindi galing NSO kung bagong kasal ka. Ipaliwanag mo na lang sa PRC na bagong kasal ka kaya wala ka pang makukuhang NSo marriage certificate.
hi poh... pwd bang mag change status sa kahit anong offices nang PRC. salamat poh,,

ReplyDeleteKathleen
ReplyDeletePasensya na po at hindi ko po alam kung magkano.
nagpapasalamat po ako na implement ng PRC ang ganitong sistema. kasi po unang-una ang kalimitang nagpaaral sa atin ang ating mga magulang so dapat po talaga dedicated tayo sa kanila na dalhin ang father's family surname. at hindi ang naging husband mo. saka sa mga husband na din na nangaliwa hanggang sa iniwan ang wife at mga anak nya. talaga lang dapat na alisin na ang surname ng ex-husband. lalo na kung walang kuenta. salamat po.

ReplyDeletemay express id pa po ba as of june 2015?..

ReplyDeleteI think wala nang express ID since yung PRC license ay makukuha na agad on the same day. Ganyan kasi ang nagyari sa kaopisina ko na recently lang nag-renew. Baka pinabilis na ng PRC yung proseso nila.
Ilang araw bago mkuha ang id after the chnage status?
ReplyDeleteManilyn
ReplyDeleteKung walang problema or discrepancy sa records mo ay makukuha mo na yung bagong PRC ID mo on the same day.

Hi po. I am planning to change my name on my prc license due to marriage and at the same time renew my license this coming October. I was married last 2010 and used my maiden name when i took & passed the board exam last 2012. I haven't really practised my profession as a nurse up to this time. Now i'm planning to change my surname and practice my profession. Hindi po ba ako ku-kwestyunin ng prc kung bakit maiden name ko ang ginamit ko nung ng-take ako ng board exam? kasi lahat ng school record ko noon eh maiden name pa po nkalagay.. Thank you po.
ReplyDeleteElla
ReplyDeleteSa tingin ko ay hindi ka naman ku-kwestyunin ng PRC tungkol sa name mo. So, ituloy mo lang yang plano mo.
Good pm, gusto ko po sana mg change status para sa nursing license ko, june 2006 po ako kumuha ng exam, nkapag work napo ako abroad for almost 6 years, anu po ba ang requirements? Sabi po ng friend ko kailangan pa po ng Dole certificate para po dun sa ng retake, pero d na po ako ngretake. Makakapag change status pa ho ba ako? Salamat po.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeleteKung change name due to marriage yan ay kailangan mo ng marriage certificate na galing sa NSO. Dagdag na document yan sa mga iba pang documents na kailangan kapag magre-renew ng PRC license.
Hi po.. pwde po ba magpa change status s MALLS? Or renewal lang po tlga sla?

Pwede po b mgpchange status sa sm mall tnx po
DeleteHi! I just filed my change of status (claiming in 3months). Will PRC also issue a registration/board certificate with my married name or is it just the ID? Problem is, I lost my certificate. If I had it duplicated, can I use my married name on the request even if I just filed my COS?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ Feb 15
ReplyDeleteI am not sure but I think it is only the ID that will bear your married name. As for the certificate, they may only give a copy of your old certificate that still bears your maiden name.

I believe that PRC License application is currently suspended in SM malls.

ReplyDeleteNaku masyado nang matagal yung 2014. Malamang itinapon na yan ng PRC. Posible na kumuha ka na lang ng bagong ID.
Ask lang po if need ba talaga na from NSO ung marriage certificate?

ReplyDeletebakit pag nagveverify ako ng license ko sa website yan ang lualabas na verification result, tama naman ang professional id license - An error was encountered while processing your request. Operator \'=\' is not defined for type \'DBNull\' and type \'Integer\'.

ReplyDeleteSa tingin ko po ay hindi na rin mababago yung expiry ng license mo. Hindi lang ako sure sa sagot ko so mas maganda po na sa PRC na lang kayo magtanong.
ask ko lng po kung pwede ko ba makuha agad agad ang prc license ko the day na nag apply dn ako.mag rerenew ako ng prc ko at the same time change of name due to marriage.

ReplyDeleteSa Manila Office ay makukuha mo agad ang PRC License on the same day of your application. Hindi ko lang alam kung same din sa ibang offices ng PRC.

ReplyDeleteIf you're near the PRC Main Office in Manila then I suggest that you there to renew your license.
You can also go to PRC's regional office if it is more convenient for you.

DeleteHi, i used my maiden name when i studied my second course (BSN) because my TOR on my first course were in my maiden name, i passed the board exam using my maiden name also, would it be a problem if i continue using my maiden name? btw i have my petition for nullity of marriage ongoing that's why i dont want to ammend my last name anymore.Thank you in advance for your reply.
ReplyDeleteHello sir, i'm a second courser and used my maiden name when i studied BSN bec my TOR on my first course was in my maiden name. I passed the board and got my lisence in my maiden name, would it be a problem? Btw, i have nullity of marriage case ongoing right now that's why im not planning to revert to my married name anymore. Thank you for your reply.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is not a problem because women are not obliged to change their surname. Also, you have a marriage nullification case so it would be good to keep your maiden name.
